Terraining Contest #6 - Ancient Mythology

[~Void~]

What is that thing? I only see a rock...

Yeah, it's a rock, and I'm going to put stuff on it.

 

[HFR]

Ok... So far it's strange... But you're [kiss ~Void's~ ass] Almighty ~Void~, so the final result can be fantastic.

 

[leet.firefox]

Yeah, it's a rock, and I'm going to put stuff on it.

Rock stuff?

 

[~Void~]

Building stuff, and dead people stuff, and cool effecty stuff.

 

[HFR]

It's underground, so I think it must have rocks, right?

 

[~Void~]

It already has rocks

 

[leet.firefox]

Now it just needs rock stuff.

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

The rock stuff needs rock stuff on its rock stuff, ortherwise, the rock stuff won't have rock stuff on its rock stuff's rock stuff.

In short: Rock stuff is awesum when Void is making it.

 

[raid1000]

can't see a bloody thing cuz of the sun

 

[leet.firefox]

Is the sun too rocky?

 

[raid1000]

Is the sun too rocky?

i meant the sun on my pc monitor

 

[FrIkY]

I can't see shit, less blue stuff plox.

 

[HFR]

No, it's a blue rock stuff... That Void will fill with lots of rockie things, and put some dead rockish golems...

 

[~Void~]

I can't see shit, less blue stuff plox.

Your monitor has stupid settings. Fix pl0x. That or you need glasses xD

 

[Celaquil]

Void that terrain clearly needs more rock stuff >.>

 

[Wolfhelm]

Roflz @ this whole conversation... lets see how long we can go on about ~voids~ "rock stuff".

 

[HFR]

We go talk about the rocky stuff until someone posts an WIP. Until there, it needs more rocky stuff, and some rocks on top and bottom.

 

[Gilles]

Fix your picture already Void, it looks awful.
Why didn't you save as PNG, like usual?

 

[HFR]

PNG? JPG isn't better?

 

[frostwhisper]

Depends on your needs.

 

[HFR]

Ok, I prefer JPG, it's smaller...

 

[Gilles]

PNG is better for terrain pictures. It's larger because it keeps the quality, while jpg lowers the quality to make the file size smaller. As frosty said, it all depends on your needs.

 

[HFR]

Well, I always used JPG at 85 % of resolution, and it looks fine, but this is an contest, so I'll use "TEH" best file type in my image.

 

[Belgarath]

PNG is a faaaaaaaaaaaaaaar better quality. I noticed the difference in some contest.

 

[HFR]

So, I'll use it.

 

[Gilles]

You can also up your AA to make it even better.

 

[thedeathunterxx]

PNG is better, but i think its unfair ....

It should be either ALL PNG or ALL JPG, because PNG quality is way crazy better than JPG quality.

However its like 1000 times bigger in size ( like 4 MB a pic ,wtf )

 

[Gilles]

How is it unfair?

 

[leet.firefox]

lol, that's what I was thinking. Anybody can use either file as they so choose. If it takes longer to upload a PNG then that is a sacrifice you should be willing to make.

 

[HFR]

4 mb? Oh my god!!!

 

[leet.firefox]

RUN FOR THE HILLS! Speaking of hills, Keiji you should make yours more hilly. Yes, I said hilly.

 

[HFR]

RUN FOR YGGDRASIL!! Tuesday I'll come with a new WIP, and I'll make moar!!!!

MWAHAHAHAHA!!!

 

[~Void~]

The average PNG for a terrain is around 700kb... since I have an enormous screen resolution, it's about 1.2mb for me, but that still isn't all that bad. It takes about 10 seconds to upload. Worst comes to worst, you can go into photoshop and save it as a JPG of quality 12.

 

[HFR]

For you = 10 secs.

For the Dial Uper cultists = The eternity!

 

[Gilles]

They should just stop offering dial-up.

 

[Cham[p]ion]

Olympus is coming slow. >< Might revert to some sort of Underworld like Void. MIGHT.

 

[Celaquil]

This will most likely be my final >.>

 

[Belgarath]

I might actually do something to mine but I have absolutely no idea WHAT.

mine are 2mb because my screen is fat and it's a TV. It's like
THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS FAT

 

[~Void~]

This will most likely be my final >.>

Noice ^^

Maybe a bit more red in that fog, though.

 

[Darkyvm]

Another screen, probably will be final unless I find something that needs to be fixed.

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

Aint Valhalla a large wood fortress? or am i wrong?

 

[Darkyvm]

Well, I don't know for sure, I based my terrain on this quote from wikipedia and this picture.

"In Norse mythology, Valhalla (from Old Norse Valhöll "hall of the slain") is a majestic, enormous hall located in Asgard, ruled over by the god Odin. Chosen by Odin, half of those that die in combat travel to Valhalla upon death, led by valkyries, while the other half go to the goddess Freyja's field Fólkvangr. In Valhalla, the dead join the masses of those who have died in combat known as Einherjar, as well as various legendary Germanic heroes and kings, as they prepare to aid Odin during the events of Ragnarök. Before the hall stands the golden tree Glasir, and the hall's ceiling is thatched with golden shields."

Valhalla, since it doesn't exist, can be whatever you want

 

[frostwhisper]

Valhalla, since it doesn't exist, can be whatever you want

Really? Awesome!

EDIT:

Pic very related. It's Mt. Olympus

 

[~Void~]

Sigh. I just got 'owned', didn't I? -.-'

You know what I mean. As long as it makes bloody sense.

 

[Just_Spectating]

more like Lake Olympus

 

[Wolfhelm]

This might be my final also.. not sure yet.

Land of the Titans

My mythology is not very good but from what i understand there where "titans" in Norse mythology. After defeating the gods in a epic battle they where banished... to here.

 

[~Void~]

Hawt. Seems valhalla-ish to me.

 

[Wolfhelm]

Hawt. Seems valhalla-ish to me.

Fine call it whatever you want
I didnt make it with anything in mind really, just didnt want to be acused of not being mythilogical.

 

[~Void~]

Well either way, it seems like a nice place to be banished to... good skiing
